Lyric Chamber Orchestra: A Spring Delight

The Lyric Chamber Orchestra and friends offer a memorable evening listening to marvellous music written by well-loved composers and performed to the highest standard. The Lyric Chamber Orchestra continues to promote the extraordinarily talented young musicians Felix Rosenboom (cello) and Sebastian Salvaterra (piano). Their enthusiasm and passion for music have led to some outstanding performances that have simply delighted our audiences.

The concert will begin with 'Little Music" for Strings, composed by Michael Tippett in 1946. The piece - with its melodic and rhythmic style - powerfully expresses the return from the dark days of the war, to all that is quintessentially English.

Felix will be performing the Haydn C major cello concerto with all its vibrant and virtuosic themes, mixed with the heavenly serene and peaceful slow movement.

Sebastian will end the evening with Chopin's Piano Concerto no 1 in E minor with it glorious romantic melodic lines, and the wonderful interplay between Chopin's pianistic figurations and garlands of pianistic embellishments.

Programme:

Tippett: Little Music for String Orchestra
Haydn: Cello Concerto in C Major
Chopin: Piano Concert No 1 in E Minor opus 11

Keith Marshall - Conductor
